August 7, 1939 Monday
Here it is 25 minutes to 12 and I'm writing in my diary! I've had quite a busy day. Got both my blankets from our blanket club today. Met Noa after work and went shopping. Got a Panama hat in Parkers. Spectator shoes in John Irvings and a blouse in the Outlet. We decided we'd like to go to the movies so we went and saw Ginger Rogers and David Niven in "Bachelor Mother". It was so funny and we enjoyed it thoroughly. I've got some real news Ginny told me today she's going to get married in the spring! She's such a baby but if it will make her happy I guess its alright with me boo hoo sob sob.

"Wake up you sleepy heads"
"Aren't you ever going to get up"
I heard Ev move in bed and suppress a snicker. I kept my eyes closed tight and tried to go on sleeping but it just wasn't any use! The voice calling was Marcel's and the time (darn that guy!) was only 8:00. Well Ev and I couldn't get back to sleep so we got up and went downstairs. The rest of the family got up and we had breakfast together. Marcel and Jess asked us if we'd like to go out in the boat and we said yes. Stayed out all morning, went over to Hammonassit and Marcel treated us to 2 ice cream cones then back to dinner. Art came down and they went swimming. Art took us home and on the way something happened to his car and so he took me to Ev's house and they borrowed Mr. Roman's car to take me home.

We slept rather late this morning. Every one of the "shore" Saturdays is the same as the last one but I always enjoy them. After breakfast we took Mrs. Seibert and Grandma Greer to Clinton to shop and then back and had dinner. We put our bathing suits on but neither of us could go swimming. Well the usual routine. Well after supper we went to the movies in Clinton. We saw two pictures that we enjoyed, "Magnificent Fraud" with a new actress Patricia Morison who is simply stunning and the clothes she wore ditto also "Stolen Life" with Elizabeth Bergner who is a marvelous actress and rather cute.

What a rainy day this has been! Wouldn't you know it! Fridays always are. Well I got paid today and put a little more money away to buy things with. Mrs. Seibert called this noon to say we wouldn't be going down the shore until after supper. Of course I didn't mind as long as we go down. Ev came for me shortly before six I believe and off we went in the rain. It wasn't raining when we got down there however so we went over to see Jess and the three of us went for a walk and then back to the house and sat and talked for awhile and so to bed.

I woke up this morning only to find I was sick. I'm a couple of days early this month. As usual outside of being a little more than usual tired everything was alright. Noa had meeting tonight and I got Karl to drive me up. Ginny couldn't come to meeting but Ev and Dotty came. Dotty was still excited about her California vacation as who wouldn't be. Ev said we're going down the shore tomorrow. I'm glad as it's rather hot. We gabbed about everything. Ev went home early but Dot and I stayed until Ed - one of Dottie's flames - came and took us home.

Another hot day and so much work at the office! When I came home to dinner found Rachel in the kitchen instead of Mom. They had gone berry picking after all. Ann Marie went with them. Rachel was just heating up the dinner Mom had prepared before she left and I took over. After dinner I rushed and washed dishes and hurried to work. Came home and got supper ready. Pop had to work until 8:00 and Karl till 6:00. Mom and kids came home with rather big baskets of blueberries. Good-
Well I took a bath and etc etc. Of course it took me hours before I was ready to get to bed - wonder why it always takes me so long?

Almost unbearably hot today. Called Ev up to find out how her first day of work had come off but I was too late she'd gone off with Art. I decided to plan the clothes I'd take with me to NY but I never got around to it. In the first place I had to write about reservations at the hotel and the took me about an hour! I finally got it done and then I got my clothes ready and took a bath. Mom and Rachel and Ann Marie went to Sonja Henies latest picture. Christoperson came to ask them if they'd like to go blueberry picking tomorrow. Mom came before they left and I guess they'll go. And thats that!
